Holliday called up!

Yeah, a lot of people are overlooking the MVP part of this rule.   Not relevant to Holliday, but a top 3 CY finish in the pre-Arb years also earns a pick if the player earned a full year of service as a rookie.  

So a question. If Adley was top 2 and earned his full year of service, would he not warrant a pick if he was MVP this year?

Pretty obvious that Holliday needs work on pop-ups into the outfield. I am happy he is up,but the idea that they were keeping him down when it’s obvious he should be playing is being proven wrong.

He ain't ready.  Certainly not at second base and not in the batter's box, either.  Looks like he needs a full season in AAA.

After 2 games?

Maybe three years like Norby.

I remember Cal's first month or two. Seems to have worked out.

Based on this small sample size of your opinions, you ain't ready to watch a full season of MLB. Maybe try amateur synchronized swimming?

I think the biggest question is how long the adjustment period will be

A typical minor league season is 140 games.   Conor Norby has played 158 AAA games.  Sure, he’s been there parts of 3 seasons.

Boston, 11 April. Cowser be like, "Jackson who?"

3-0 in the Jackson Holliday era

Holliday does look a little overwhelmed but has had some good AB’s with deep counts and had some good takes.   I wish he’d put a little more mustard on some of those “routine” throws to 1B.

[Moose Milligan]

I’ve seen enough. Send him back down for some more “seasoning.”

[yark14]

Jackson will be just fine.  No need to overreact to 2 games.

I like that this team is good enough that we don’t have to panic if the kid doesn’t play well early on. Let him get experience against the best pitchers in the world… he will be fine.
